Hubsan H501S top speed testing and near crash00:56

I wanted to figure out how fast the H501S will fly in semi-manual mode (altitude hold). The quadcopter made in above 20 m/s or 45 mph before flipping in mid air and tumbling down. Since the speed test was done at close to 300ft altitude, I was able to re-enable GPS hold and with full throttle up the quad recovered at only 30ft off the ground. Video is stabilized via YouTube.

      Happened to me once too. Recovered safely just above trees. That day I learned to full throttle, decrease the speed for the drone to get a little more balanced and again full throttle for max speed. Love this speedy little drone.

      GPS is auto cut off if the quad is upside down.

      I have one also. I routinely do about 12 m/s around 27 mph. I have had it up near 20 m/s but, I noticed the same tendency to start flipping and immediately throttled off and GPS mode before it flipped. I won’t go faster than 12 m/s after watching this I felt my stomach turn… I don’t think this is a firmware thing… I think it’s an aerodynamic thing…

      I have one and love it. Do you think this really goes 45mph? If so that’s pretty bad ass

      What version of Firmware are you using on the quad?
